marym625

marym625
(17,997 posts)I am waiting to see who is running in the primary. Depending on who, I am either volunteering for Ms. Tammy or whomever I want in the primary. Since that's still an unknown...
Tammy Duckworth will kick kirk's ass!
misterhighwasted
(9,148 posts)What a great campaign to work on..you'll have to keep us posted as things get going.
This is great news.
marym625
(17,997 posts)She's so awesome.
misterhighwasted
(9,148 posts)While other gop's supported Pence's bigotry law, Kirk comes out with a statement disagreeing with Pence. Calling the law un-American even!!
AND Kirk now says he WILL vote to confirm Loretta Lynch.
Appears Kirk well knows what he's up against in a face off with the remarkable Tammy Duckworth.
Haaha
marym625
(17,997 posts)Awesome! Thanks for that information!
He really did himself in signing that Tom Cotton letter. People were pissed!
misterhighwasted
(9,148 posts)This is going to be G R E A T. !!!
marym625
(17,997 posts)Then we'll have Durbin and Duckworth! What a fantasy Senate team!
misterhighwasted
(9,148 posts)But I will be cheering from boring predictable Tx.
Nothing exciting ever happens with our politics.
Only shot at a political thrill we have is San Antonio's favorite son Julian Castro, becoming a VP pick.
Maybe he has a chance. Who knows, its early still.
marym625
(17,997 posts)That was exciting stuff
misterhighwasted
(9,148 posts)..corrupt State.It is so entrenched I don't know what it will actually take to move it Blue.
Too much money & dirty deals made far from the public eye. Its exhausting to try breaking through it.
But dang Wendy Davis is a great fighter with her head & heart in the right place.
And I had the best time of my life working on her campaign. Met many decent people and the coolest thing was that we all were working for the same cause.
All connected in our efforts.
I made many friends.
So will you. Its a pretty exclusive group to be part of.
marym625
(17,997 posts)That's a shame.
What's an exclusive group? I have worked on dome democratic campaign almost every election year since I was 7. My parents were very political.
misterhighwasted
(9,148 posts)Exclusive group, meaning that you are closer to the guts of the campaign than most people. Part of something that can change the world. However big or small it may seem.
That is what I meant by exclusive group.
marym625
(17,997 posts)I have a card personally signed from the Clintons, and met Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale and Barack Obama.
So yeah, cool stuff
misterhighwasted
(9,148 posts)But they'd probably make me pay for it.
Nice talking merrym624. Need to call it a day.
A good night to you my friend.

(3,290 posts)as governor there may not be enough of Illinois left to represent by anybody. He is hell bent on trashing this state and hopefully the Illinois legislature can put a hold on at least of some of his crap. More for the rich and screw everybody else. Yecchhh!

And he's going to bend to Obama for the Lynch vote.

(9,148 posts)..do they give that PAC money to the winning GOP candidate? Can they? Or do they just keep it.
Thinkingabout
(30,058 posts)Have to make hard decisions, with these three from Texas it will be hard. Which is the worse?
misterhighwasted
(9,148 posts)Or they run as many on the same talking point to flood the MSM with free airtime for one singular campaign talking point.
I smell a rat. Way too many are jumping in.

(30,058 posts)misterhighwasted
(9,148 posts)On the teapublican side anyway.
Such a bunch of losers!
